Re: ESTONIA 2013

No way. There isn't enough good songs for even two semis. I'd prefer quality over quantity.

Re: ESTONIA 2013

I really like Estonian entries.

2010 was different, but therefore it was good
2011 was catchy, maybe a bit childish to end high
2012 first i had doubts, but final performance was good

Re: ESTONIA 2013

From that three songs, I like more 2012 entry!

I agree, 2012 was the best one and deserved the 6th placing, altough i had hope something different like 2010 could make it to the final

Re: ESTONIA 2013

Yes, I had thought the same thing back then in 2010. That song had many chances to qualify but it didn't. It was a different song...

^^

it could easily have replaced Moldova, Russia or Bosnia

Re: ESTONIA 2013

I agree with Bosnia/Herzegovina, but Moldova and Russia were better for me.

Another song composed by Sven Lõhmus:

I really loved this song. Triin Niitoja and her band can make it to national final, i want it so much. She also took part in Eesti otsib superstaari, just like some contestants of previous Eesti Laul editions.

Re: ESTONIA 2013

One more Getter Jaani, please.

Re: ESTONIA 2013

I really hope they go for something interesting this time, cuz they have sooo many interesting artists. This year was such a waste.

Re: ESTONIA 2013

Ithaka Maria, who came 5th in Eesti Laul 2011 with the entry "Hopa'pa-rei!" (2nd in televotes but robbed by juries imo - my personal favorite in the Estonian selection that year), recently took part in Crimea Fest in Ukraine as part of "Trio Baltiya" (together with a Latvian and a Lithuanian singer) performing a slightly different version of Ukrainian singer Sofia Rotaru's song "Odna Kalyna" (with added verses in Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian).

If you don't spot her directly, she's the girl on the right side (the performance starts around 00:45 in the video).

And to all who may have forgot (or don't recognize) her Eesti Laul entry from 2011, here is a reprise of that one:

Ithaka would be a great choice for Estonia with the right entry. "Hopa" was an über-cool song (the bit let-down was lack of lyrics and a bit too repeating though), and with something as equally cool (not necessarily in the same style though), she'd be a good pick for sure! She has the looks (I mean she's über-hot!), stage presence, stage personality and is a good live singer aswell... all she needs is a strong entry and she should be ready to go to Malmö!

You're right, she's freaking beautiful!
I wouldn't mind something like this from Estonia, or something like Randajad that was magnificient! I like Estonian and I like their folk and traditional music!

Re: ESTONIA 2013

There has been also 5th edition of Eesti Otsib Superstaari ongoing.
Most probably we will see some future Eesti Laul singers there. Maybe for 2013 ?

The final is about two weeks after Eesti Laul submissions dealine, so I don't think so. Maybe some of the early dropouts will try their luck.

Re: ESTONIA 2013

I really wonder where Anisa originates from. She also took my interest. I would appreciate a reply about her ancestry, coz i already dug up websites like Delfi and Õhtuleht, but i got no result.

you gonna support her if it shows she has some Turkic ancestry or what?

 

[eerik]

Re: ESTONIA 2013

Well, Anisa herself originates from Tallinn, Estonia but I have no idea where her parents are from. Last week's theme was "songs from your birth year" and pictures from childhood were shown and her mother looked like a regular Estonian. Her last name sounds Estonian I think, or at least estonianised, so that doesn't help either.

Oh, and she dropped out of the show tonight...

Re: ESTONIA 2013

I have discovered the last edition and trying to know the singers of it very recently, for a couple of days. Tbh, it would be good if she has Turkic ancestry, but what i know for now is she sings well.

There's 1000000000000000000x singers like this, zero personality, "big generic vocals"... and she's not even that good vocally, this was rather mediocre tbh.

I think you should give them some time.
Elina Born is also good, and Janek Valgepea attemted to compete in Eesti Laul 2012, texts by Mia, but he failed.

Does it make her better if she has Turkic ancestry then? I thought we judged music and talent not ethnicity but maybe I was wrong

Thx btw, i should ask herself in fb or twitter or sth like this
There is still hope for Eesti Laul attempt from her, just like Getter Jaani, Kene Vernik, Marten Kuningas and many others
